No they can't fire you, but you must keep making your doctor's
appointments and be sure your doctor writes a note you can leave at
the office where you work. If you can't do your "inlink_gtb" href="http://jobs.answers.com" title="job">job
(for example: A back injury) then it's up to the company to find
you a job in their company that you can handle.
I suggest you phone the Labor Relations Board and ask them a few
questions so you are sure you are on the right track.
Good luckMarcy
Or call the Dept. of Labor,or go to their website.

What is workmans compensation?
In Georgia Workers' Compensation insurance falls under the
Workers' Compensation Act which defines the responsibility of the

injuries sustained on the job by workers. This is insurance that
the employer, certain employers, are required to have. This
insurance covers the employees who have injuries that result in
partial or total incapacity or death. In return, the employer is
shielded from tort liability for these injuries. In other words, an
employee should receive income and medical benefits and the
employer generally can't be sued for the injury.
